In 2020, Albany brought 1,500 feet of Patroon Creek back above ground after decades in a pipe

This innovative project significantly bolstered flood protection for surrounding neighborhoods. Post-restoration water monitoring assured that the creek effectively managed heavy rains, tackling water quality concerns while promoting a healthier aquatic ecosystem. The initiative not only enhances the environment but also provides recreational opportunities for the local community.
